Chilwell is understood to be keen to talk to Liverpool but will wait to see if the asking price is met.
In that case they will turn to Hull City left-back Andrew Robertson who had an impressive 2015-16 campaign in Championship.
The possibility of Dundee United banking a seven figure windfall from the sell-on of former defender Andy Robertson has risen with the news that Liverpool are reported to have a serious interest in the Scotland worldwide.
According to the Echo, the champions want £10M for the player – who has a year left on his contract and has never played a Premier League game.
The Reds are believed to be on the lookout for a number of new signings as Jurgen Klopp gears up for his full season in charge at Anfield.
We doubt Robbie Brady will be a Championship player next season.
Liverpool have already identified Hull City’s Andrew Robertson as one of several potential alternatives, with the 22-year-old Scotland worldwide likely to command a smaller fee despite his obvious promise.
The 22-year-old Scot made 52 appearances for Steve Bruce’s side last season, culminating in their play-off final victory to reach the Premier League.

Chilwell is yet to play for City in the Premier League, his three appearances for the club coming in domestic cup competitions.
